Chapter 22: I Can Help You
"Now that your body has not fully recovered, and when you encounter the cold moon again, I am not sure if your injuries will get worse and worse, and her body will not be able to wait at that time."
Seeing that he didn't speak, the armadillo continued: "Why don't you tell me who you are? You saved her life, and even if you say it, you won't be blamed, right? ”
"Nope." Mo Bai said lightly.
The armadillo was puzzled: "Why not?" ”
Mo Bai didn't speak, but still stuck to his thoughts.
She didn't owe him, it was all of his own free will. If she knew that she would exchange the demon pill for her rebirth, I don't know what choice she would make.
Although she was born in the palace and grew up in various dogmatic rituals, he knew that she did not like to be bound.
She would rather be a bird soaring in the sky than a canary in a cage.
He let her live again because of his own heart, and it was already his greatest sin and selfishness to see her leave his life like this.
How dare he let her know?
Pulling her back into this painful world, whenever he saw her painful expression, his heart seemed to have countless thorns piercing him.
The armadillo didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't know why he was so stubborn.
"It's a very simple thing, why is it so complicated?" It is obviously a matter of an inner pill, as long as he can absorb the essence of the inner pill, then he can relieve the pain of the cold moon devouring his body.
Thinking of the scene just now when Zhao Yuanling put the demon pill essence into his mouth, the armadillo had a plan, and she was about to probe it: "Otherwise, you two will be mouth-to-mouth, and she will pass the essence into your mouth, so that she will not die, and you will not be so painful." ”
However, the good solution she racked her brains to come up with was only one word.
"Get out."
"Hey! It's really kind and not reciprocated, and you still treat me like this for advice, if it weren't for my help just now, where would you wake up so quickly......" The armadillo's voice dispersed at the door and cursed, and Mo Bai lay back on the bed.
His eyes stared blankly at the ceiling, and he seemed to have some weakness.
Full moon night......
He didn't want to think back to the last time he was eaten by the cold moon, as if his whole body was covered with ice, and even if he burned his body with fire, he didn't feel it at all.
My whole body was numb to the point of losing consciousness, and I was cold.
It was a feeling that he didn't want to remember a second time.
After Zhao Yuanling saw the strength of the demon, she felt more and more how small she was, and in the face of absolute force, she was like a little chick who could be picked up casually.
Mo Bai can protect her this time, but what about next time? What about next time? He didn't want to be a burden to anyone.
Even if it is to learn some fur self-defense techniques, I believe it will not be difficult for her, right?
So, Zhao Yuanling knocked on the door of the white room again, forcibly suppressed the confusion in his heart, and asked him to teach himself some simple self-defense techniques.
The courtyard in front of the door was a little littered, and the sky was already gray. The faint moonlight lifted the dark clouds and shone on the edge of the eaves, gilding them with a layer of silver.
The lantern was dim, and the shadows of the two were elongated.
Under Zhao Yuanling's repeated begging, Mo Bai finally agreed to teach her some simple self-defense techniques.
He commanded, "You should start with Zamabu." ”
Zhao Yuanling was very obedient and half-squatted down, and his posture was adjusted a lot to achieve the standard.
Maintaining this action and still being stared at by him, Zhao Yuanling felt a little embarrassed. Besides, she didn't last long before she felt a pain all over her body, and after a while, she couldn't help but stand up.
She kneaded her sore thighs and said in pain, "I don't want to learn this." ”
"And what do you want to learn?"
Zhao Yuanling grabbed a branch from the ground and played in the courtyard, she felt that her movements were extremely chic, flowing smoothly, and finally stopped panting, giving him a very proud look.
It's like saying: How? I'm a good dancer, right?
"Do you want to learn how to do it? I won't do that. ”
Zhao Yuanling "......"
There was already a thin layer of sweat behind her, and she worked so hard, but he said that it was a practice.
She stomped her foot angrily, "I want to use a sword, like you." ”
Although she doesn't know anything about martial arts, it doesn't prevent her from having a martial arts dream in her heart, she also wants to walk the world with a long sword in hand, and when she sees injustice, she draws a sword to help, and the pleasure of going to the end of the world with a sword soon comes to her heart, and she is eager to try.
However, the chivalrous spirit that had just been ignited was quickly extinguished.
"No matter what you learn, the most basic thing is to start with Zamabu. From now on, practice for an hour every night to see how well you practice before deciding when to start the next step. ”
Zhao Yuanling's momentum instantly faded in half, but he still obediently tied up his horse.
Her legs were bent, but it was only two cups of tea. , a dense layer of sweat has appeared on her forehead, and her body is too weak.
Zhao Yuanling is reflecting from time to time, is her life too smooth sailing, otherwise how could she have nothing to do?
Gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, trying to make himself forget about the momentary pain.
After a while, she was about to lose her bearings, her whole body was shaking, and her voice trembled: "I...... Can I take a break? ”
Mo Bai was standing next to her, and Zhao Yuanling turned his head to look, only to see that his eyes were closed and motionless, as if he was asleep.
He is a strong martial artist, and not just because of his talent. It is also a strong self-discipline and hard practice day after day to achieve such results.
His requirements must be stricter than others, so Zhao Yuanling didn't dare to move, not sure if he was testing her.
After a while, Zhao Yuanling felt that something was wrong, and his body seemed to be trembling.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Yuanling stopped, only to see his long eyebrows furrowed, his lips tight, as if he was enduring something.
He seemed to be in pain.
"Ink white, ink white!"
Mo Bai slowly opened his eyes, and a pair of pitch-black pupils were like waves in the dark night, fierce and terrifying.
Zhao Yuanling couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his heart.
He turned around, calming his chaotic aura, "I'll get here today." ”
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, don't worry about me." His tone was not angry at all, and even revealed a hint of forbearance.
Zhao Yuanling rarely saw him show such an expression, he was a guard, a killer, and he was more expressionless like a wood on weekdays, and more serious.
Even if you are injured, you will try your best to suppress it and not show it, unless it is unbearable.
Mo Bai was walking quickly in front, and Zhao Yuanling kept chasing behind.
Even if she had already arrived at the door, she still didn't let him go, holding the door with both hands, with a stubborn face, he was bound to give an answer, otherwise he would not give up.
In just a few steps, Mo Bai's whole body was already wet with sweat, and beads of sweat the size of beans could be seen with the naked eye across his handsome face.
"Don't make a fuss."
His tone was heavy, and his gaze was one that couldn't contain the pain that kept overflowing.
"Don't tell me it's just an injury, I don't believe it."
"What do you want?" His voice was very cold, and Zhao Yuanling was like falling into an ice cellar, as if he was a stranger in front of him.
For a moment, I felt as if I didn't know him, he used to be a master-servant relationship, he was just a subordinate, and there were many people around him.
She has no way and will not put all her energy into him alone, and will only summon him when she needs to.
Now that Zhao Yuanling is only beside him, she wants to try to get along with him like a friend and care about him, but he said these cold words.
"I don't mean anything else, I'm really not feeling well." He spat out the words with difficulty, and his frown could no longer pretend to be casual stretching.
He needed a place, a space for him to heal alone.
Zhao Yuanling's face eased a lot, looked at him with concern and said, "I want to help you." ”
"You can't help me."
The direct words made Zhao Yuanling's breath stagnate, no one had ever refuted her like this, even if she really couldn't help much, but they would say it very tactfully, and it wouldn't hurt her heart, because she was a princess on top.
If it were Zhao Yuanling from before, he would have been angry or sad.
But now she just wants to really be able to help, even if he is sick and painful, she can help him serve tea and water. Although it couldn't relieve his pain, these little things could still be done.
Zhao Yuanling was not afraid of his cold words at all, and her gaze slowly rose from his chest until she met the pair of eyes that were as dark as the night.
"I can help."
This sentence seemed to poke his laughing hole, and Mo Bai suddenly laughed. Laughing hard, but wantonly.
He was like a lonely beast, wounded, and just wanted to find a place to lick his wounds silently.
He doesn't want to show anyone his fragile side, he is a guard, a shield, indestructible. However, what she said could easily break through his heart and come to him.
Zhao Yuanling was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?" ”
He laughed for no reason, making Zhao Yuanling instantly feel that what he said seemed to be ridiculous.
She said a little arrogantly: "I mean seriously, although I am not a doctor, there are always things that doctors can't do." Don't underestimate me, although I didn't know anything before, but now I'm not a princess, and you're not my bodyguard, we're friends now, if you help me, I'll help you......" She paused for a moment and continued: "Even if I can't help much, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you!" ”
She didn't have much confidence in what she said, after all, she used to be a little princess who didn't touch the spring water with her fingers. Nowadays, it is indeed a little uncredible to say that it is going to help.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little sullen.
The atmosphere was visibly calmed down, and the people in front of them gradually became quiet.
